Professor suffers
daylight office theft
by Tammy Gregersen
Thefts occur every day "out
in the world"—that's nothing
new, but here at Bethel?
Even on campus, a petty
thievery occurs at least once a
week, according to Jim
Woods, director of the physi-cal
plant.
Don Larson, professor in
linguistics and anthropology,
knows this first-hand. On
Sept. 7 in mid-afternoon,
someone walked into his of-fice
and took some property
valued at $230. The thief stole
a dictation machine, a leather
bag, and some untranscribed
tapes. "The tapes were no
good to anyone but me," said
Larson. "A • lot of time and
energy went into those."
"This is not the first time
this has happened," said Lar-son.
"It's no surprise to me.
These things go on several
times a year."
Neither Larson nor Woods
rules out the possibility that
the thief was a Bethel stu-dent.
"What we (the Bethel
community) can't accept is
that it could be someone in
this place," said Larson.
"We can't bring in outside
help either because then we
get in the public eye for the
wrong reason," Larson said,
"We have boasted about be-ing
so pure that they'll just
rub our nose in it."
Woods added, "It (Bethel) is
not a Christian college, it's a
college of Christians—there's
a difference. True, the fre-quency
of these incidents is
less than, say, at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, but they
still do occur."
To minimize the problem,
Woods said, "Total campus
security is up-graded every
year in coverage, staff, and
new and better equipment.
This year we have two men
on night security—one roving
the campus, the other on the
gate—both connected by radio.
We also have a very close and
quick response from Ramsey
County Sheriff. There's one
car patrolling near the cam-pus
whose first priority is
Bethel."
Woods said, "Security is
everybody's business. People
need to lock their doors, take
other ample means to secure
personal property such as
locking things up in desks
and lockers, and restrict their
use of keys. If a theft does
occur, report the incident
promptly, accurately, and
with detail at the physical
plant. The easiest way to
solve the problem is to estab-lish
a pattern for the thefts,"
said Woods.

This year's junior nursing
majors have started a new
phase of their program in
which they attend clinicals in
hospitals. This gives them the
opportunity to face real situa-tions
while retaining a con-trolled
setting.
This is not a brand new
concept to the three-year old
nursing program; it was de-signed
as part of the curricu-lum
from the beginning. Nurs-ing
students have two basic
types of courses to take in
their eleven-course program.
One type concentrates on the
traditional, theoretical facets
of nursing. The other includes
those classes which integrate
the theoretical aspects of nurs-ing
with real situations.
Nursing students begin
their lab component down-stairs
in FA 209. There they
are able to develop the basic
techniques and skills which
can be learned in an artificial
environment. But it is not long
before they get out into a
more practical environment
for developing their skills.
Field experience takes place
mainly in hospitals, but it
also includes schools, commu-nity
agencies, public health
centers and homes. The stu-dents
will work two or three
times a week and will deal
with the clients on a personal
level, learning skills which
the classroom cannot provide.
This includes skills such as
working on a professional
health staff, one-to-one client
care, inter-relational skills,
and practical medical tech-by

With the help of "Jane Fon-da's
Workout Book," Richard
Simmon's television program,
and numerous physically
strenuous activities, aerobics
classes have been sweeping
the nation.
Sept. 27 was the start of a
new season for Bethel aero-bics
enthusiasts, with classes
held Monday through Thurs-day
at 6 p.m. in the wrestling
room.
"It's good to be active and to
be involved in some sort of
exercise," said sophomore
Sharon Gregg, one of the
aerobics leaders.
Aerobics is not just an aver-age
calisthenics class; it is an
exercise program designed for
women. The program is ar-ranged
to give the participants
niques.
The students attending the
various institutions are divid-ed
into small groups and fre-quently
work together as a
group, all under, the supervi-sion
of an instructor.
"Nursing is a professional
health care service designed
to assist the client to maintain
health, restore health, and to
promote a higher level of
health," said Eleanor Edman,
assistant professor and chair-person
of the nursing program.
"And our program, which
integrates theory with actual
practice, along with having
an excellent faculty in the
nursing department helps us
to prepare the best possible
nurses Bethel can provide."
more energy and endurance
along with trimming certain
areas of the body. It also
strengthens the heart and
lungs and tones muscles.
Gregg encourages Bethel
women to become involved in
aerobics for physical activity
that can be fun. The women
do not necessarily have to fol-low
along step by step, Gregg
said.
Routines are recorded on
tape with contemporary vo-calists,
such as Keith Green,
the Archers, Second Chapter
of Acts and the Imperials.
Sophomore Chris Bloom-quist,
an active participant,
said, "It is a well-spent hour
when you can leave your
homework and your books
behind, and have a good feel-ing
about-yourself when you
leave."

Students must push
for spiritual growth
"I know the Christian stance Bethel has as an academic
institution, but what about the student body? What is the
dominant press of the student environment? Will it push my
daughter/son in the direction of Christian growth or will it
push her/him the other way?" This is an example of the
questions on the minds of parents as we come to school each
fall.
Well, how do we answer this parent? Do we push each
other in the direction of spiritual growth or is it the other
way? Some of us would immediately answer "Yes, of course
Bethel pushes a person toward spiritual growth." We are
involved in fellowship groups which strive for good Bible
study, Christian maturation, and evangelism. We are part of
a small group of cohesive believers. We attend chapel regu-larly
and take advantage of any situation from which we
could grow.
Some of us would also answer, "No, Bethel definitely
pushes the other way." We face struggles with our Christian
walk and are even more frustrated at times by those who
seem to have their Christian life in order. We feel a coldness
from some groups because we are "not as spiritual." There-fore,
we are pushed away from Christianity and our per-sonal
Christian walk diminishes. We think that just because
we are at Bethel, a Christian learning community, and
because we are taking Theology I that that is all the effort
our spiritual life needs.
The problem is that no one seems to push us back on
track from this manner of thinking. When we are facing
other problems, we just do not see any evidence of Christian
love.
Before we answer this parent's question, we need to think
about how we are pushing. Are we just part of a small
group of the student body that does push for spiritual
growth? That is good for us personally, but what are we
actively doing to help others in spiritual growth? Those of
us who would say that Bethel is pushing the other way need
to take a look at our own personal motivation toward spirit-ual
growth. If we are standing still it is terribly hard for
others to push us. Do we want to be pushed?
As a student body we are pushing: which way?

Dear editor,
Please allow me to explain
the rationale for the BSA
Executive Board's decision
concerning the Beef Board
transformation.
First of all, regarding its
movement to first floor: There
were two primary reasons for
this action. In its previous
location, the Beef Board creat-ed
a major "log-jam" in a high-ly
trafficked hallway. Further-more,
we are attempting to
create here at Bethel a Stu-dent
Union similar to those of
sister institutions. This union
is designed to centralize all
student services and organi-zations.
With this philosophy
in mind, the new location of
Dear Editor:
Thanks for that editorial
(Sept. 24) on awareness of the
spiritual needs of those a-round
us. What you wrote
applies at least as much to
faculty as to students.
In an environment filled,
we suppose, with Christians
it is all too easy either not to
talk about Christ or to talk
about` tomrnitmtni - to • Min
the Beef Board is more logical
and consistent with the con-cept
of a Student Union. To
dispel a common rumor, the
Beef Board was not "moved to
the basement to hide it" in
any way from the general
public.
Some of you have asked,
"Why place glass over the
Beef Board?" There are two
reasons why we felt that this
action was necessary. First,
with the old Beef Board sys-tem
there was a lack of respect
by the students for the com-ments
made by others. This
was exemplified by the grow-ing
problem of inconsiderately
written comments on the com-ments
of others. This disre-simply
in terms of political
and social issues. The issues
may be important; they may
demand our attention as
Christians, and they almost
always stir us more easily
than does a call to evange-lism.
But your editorial con-cerned
our deepest needs, and
it was refreshing and helpful.
Gratefully,
Tom Greenlee
Associate Professor

After reading responses to
the latest Bethel Beef Board
scandal by Mr. Anderson and
Ms. Ogden-Malouf, I must
repeat the question they were
asking, "What is Bethel trying
to hide?" Are we so paralyzed
by our own dependence on
outside opinion that we sweep
whatever is "untidy" under
the proverbial rug? It seems
as though we at Bethel are
afraid of our own human
"shadows," again to quote
from last week. We are afraid
to admit that we hurt, fail, get
angry, experience injustice—
that we even question our
faith!
The old Beef Board always
helped us to see how pain-fully
human we actually are.
It was a mirror to reflect our
weaknesses, failures and
doubts—the more unpleasant
see page 3
spect was so rampant as to
transform the board into noth-ing
more than Bethel's grafitti
board.
Secondly, the previous Beef
Board permitted students to
make comments and.not have
the courage to stand behind
what they said by - signing
their names or PO to their
work. My question is, "What
kind of qualities and charac-teristics
do we want to reward
on this campus?" Do we want
to promote an atmosphere
where disrespect and a lack
of accountability for one's
words and actions is reward-ed?
If we are truly to become
a Christian Learning Commu-nity,
should we not be con-sistent
and reward respect-fulness
and accountability in
all areas of student life? We
feel that the addition of the
glass will promote these
qualities.
To further clarify the Beef
Board policy, let me reiterate
that the policy is exactly the
same as last year. The glass
simply functions to assist us
in maintaining the Beef Board
as a medium of constructive
criticism on our campus.

Bethel's saltiness polluted
Dear editor,
"You are the salt of the
earth; but if salt has lost its
taste, how shall its saltiness
be restored? It is no longer
goad for anything except to
be thrown out and trodden
underfoot by men" (Matt.
5:13).
Before seriously consider-ing
your Sept. 24 editorial on
"evangelism" within the Beth-el
community, we must exam-,
ine the "saltiness" of our true
believers. You said we ought
to hold a ''serious discussion"
with someone to determine
whether their faith is in
Christ or not. Is our Chris-tianity
hidden that much?
Has our salt lost its taste?
While Romans 12:2 explic-itly
indicates "not to be con-formed
to this world," our
full-gospel and evangelical
scene at Bethel is just a "Chris-by

most frequently asked. Even
people who know their major

The career placement office,
located in the fine arts build-ing,
can aid students with
career choices.
The primary purpose of the
career placement office "is to
assist students to plan their
career during their college life
and to know how to get the
job," said Paul Redin, director
of career placement.

individual counseling. They

The world's pollution has di-luted
the saltiness of our be-lievers.
We have Christian
rock, as well as the latest
video games, candy machines,
televisions and the like. If we
cater to our flesh, we will
reap corruption (Gal. 6:7).
Even the neglect of reading
and obeying the Word of God
compromises with the world.
We converse more about our
worldly plans and happen-ings
rather than uplifting
each other through Scripture
and praise in the pursuit of
holiness.
The point is that we gener-ally
have not "come out from
among them" at all, but are
merely imitating them. The
mentality seems to be, "Let's
do everything the world does,
only better. Let's show them
that God and his people don't
take second place to anyone
in anything." Roughly trans-a

values and skills, Redin
helps them to take steps to-ward

In addition to counseling,
the career placement offers a
series of seminars. Three that
seniors attend concern devel-oping
a job campaign, resume
writing, and interview tech-niques.
Redin also tries to
speak to senior classes. How-ever,
Redin said, "The initia-tive
has to come from the stu-dents
because they are respon-sible
for their lives." "We help
them to find a job instead of
getting them a job."

lated and put into action that
means, let's be even more
worldly than the world is.
How can we evangelize to
unbelievers when we indulge
in the world's self-satisfying
passions? "Do you not know
that friendship with the
world is enmity with God?"
(James 4:4) Who will thirst
for bland salt?
We therefore must totally
and radically submit our lives
to God. Then we will hunger
for the Word, obey it and be
"bold as a lion" in our faith
(Prov. 28:1)—the best evan-gelizing
tool ever!
If we completely yield our-selves
to the Lord, then our
faith and joy will overflow in
all our conversations—no
need for a "serious discus-sion"
to test one's faith. "Out
of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaks" (Matt.
12:34). We couldn't conceal
our love for Jesus. Psalms
47:1 exhorts, "Clap your
hands, all peoples! Shout to
God with loud songs of joy!"
The salt in our set-free lives
would overwhelm others!
Let's not endanger our-selves
by searching for "Chris-tian"
worldly amusements
and self-seeking pleasure. For
this lukewarm state God said,
"I will spew you out of my
mouth" (Rev. 3:16).
If we die to our desires and
catch fire for the Lord, he will
uplift us and manifest him-self
through us for his glory.
Others will thirst for our sal-vation.
That's evangelism!

"Hey Emmit, your're late," a voice called out from the branch
above.
"Get with the program simp, can't you see that it's time to
change?" another voice called out from the other side of the
tree. -
"Of course I can see, but I don't wanna Change." Emmit
shivered as a chilly autumn breeze swept through the tree. He
was the only leaf on the whole tree who had not changed his
color.
"You're just embarrassed to change in front of everybody,"
said the leaf hanging next to him. Emmit shook in admittance
to what was said. Deep down, however, he knew that embar-rassment
wasn't the only reason he wouldn't change.
As the days wore on, the leaves which Emmit had grown up
with found their new home on the ground below the tree.
Emmit stayed bright green. The leaves called up from the
ground and told him that he would never be respected unless
he changed. They said that he would never be considered
beautiful. This made Emmit angry. One day the kids that lived
down the street came to the tree and played in the fallen leaves.
Emmit watched as they played tag games and made forts in
the leaves. He also wanted to make the children happy. When
the leaves on the ground saw that Emmit was watching they
began to chant, "Emmit's green with envy, Emmit's green with
envy."
"I am not." Emmit called down from the tree.
"Come on Emmit," came the response from the ground, "step
out in faith, take a chance, risk all."
"No, I'm comfortable. I don't want to." Emmit repressed'his
true feelings. "Just look at you guys," he called out, "you're
turning brown. Whatever happened to all the color and
beauty?" The leaves below didn't respond to Emmit.
The next day the man who lived in the house by the tree
came out and raked all the leaves into a pile. Emmit watched as
the pile grew. After the man finished raking he set the leaves
on fire.
"Burn, scum!!" Emmit yelled. "Just look at the beauty and
respect, it's all burning. You all deserve to burn." Emmit was
filled with glee as the pile slowly turned into ashes. Emmit
was still green.
As the weeks passed Emmit realized that the wind was
picking up and the temperature was dropping. The kids didn't
come to- play anymore. The man hardly ever came out of his
house. There wasn't anyone for Emmit to talk to, the ashes
were blown away by the wind. One day the temperature
dropped to 25 degrees. Emmit froze to death.

Distinguished alumni receive awards =1111Wff= by Steven J. Goodwin
As it is literally impossible for me to dialogue with each of
you on a regular basis, I hope to use this bimonthly column to
keep you informed of the important developments which
directly affect you. With this initial article, however, I would
like to briefly orient you to student government and how it
seeks to serve you.
The Bethel Student Association (BSA) is composed of all
students currently enrolled at Bethel College. This association
is designed to serve the needs of the student community
through student government, student publications, Campus
Coordinators and various special interest groups.
BSA is governed by a- bicameral student government. The
two branches of our student government are the Executive
Board and the Student Senate. The student government func-tions
as the official voice of the student body to all faculty,
staff and administrative personnel and to all off-campus
groups. It initiates legislation for change in both our Bethel
community and our world community, allocates funds to on-campus
organizations and seeks to provide a variety of ser-vices
to students.
What has student government (Executive Board and Stu-dent
Senate) done for you this year? We have represented
student concerns to the June and September meetings of the
Board of Regents, helped with final planning and implementa-tion
of our new Student Union including the new BSA lounge
near the elevators, and the newly reorganized Senate-run
Book Exchange, just to mention a few of our programs to date.
What is student government doing now? Along with a
myriad of long-range programs, we are presently involved in
reviewing the Beef Board transformation and, in initating a
constitution revision process designed to bring greater coordi-nation
and cohesiveness to student organizations at Bethel. In
addition, we are currently studying how we can effectively
lobby for the growing number of student-related legislative
proposals at both the state and federal levels and are attempt-ing
to determine which organization(s) could best represent
the views of Bethel students.
We were elected to serve you! Please help us by stopping
into our office (LR112) or by coming to the Student Senate
meetings (Mondays at 5:15 in FA 426) to inform us of your
opinions and_concerns.

Mathias suggests students
find out from graduate schools

The seminary is allowing
the college to use one of its
rooms for the school year to
help combat the shortage of
classrooms. Bethel has sched-uled
one course in each mod,
a total of ten, to be taught at
the seminary.
The course schedule was
planned last spring before fall
enrollment was determined.
Even if spring courses are
curtailed, Bethel may continue
to use the seminary classroom
due to its size. According to
Duck, the classroom can hold
50 students which is larger
than most Bethel classrooms.
Bethel has 30 classrooms,
but up to 34 or 35 classes are
scheduled during some mods
this semester, Duck said. Be-sides
the seminary classroom,
Bethel is using other rooms,
such as library conference
rooms, for classes. According
to Duck, "We're using rooms
that are not adequate for
classrooms."

Donated electron microscope magnifies 30,000 times
by Mike Doran
Hidden- in AC 137 is a sci-entific
device valued between
$50,000 and $100,000. It is an
electron microscope and can
magnify objects 30,000 times,
the equivalent of magnifying
a paper clip to the size of eight
and one-third football fields.
The original owner of the
scope, the University of Min-nesota
Veterinary School, de-cided
to donate the scope after
receiving a new one. They
picked up a phone book and
looked under colleges and call-ed
the first listing, Augsburg.
Augsburg said they already
had one. Then they called up
the next listing, Bethel.
Explained simply, the mic-roscope
works by directing a
beam of electrons through a
series of magnetic fields—not
glass.
The beam goes through a
selectively pre-dyed specimen
or object and the dye blocks
some of the beam's electrons.
The beam is then magnified
by more magnetic fields. An
image is formed on a surface
coated with fluorescence
which emits light from the
electrons striking it, like a TV
screen.

"Oh, no, not another lecture on community!" No, not a lec-ture;
just the reflections of a Bethel-watcher gazing into our
corporate mirror. We call ourselves a "Christian learning
community" (if we are to believe our own publicity), and we
rightly sense that this should be more than a catalog aphorism.
Yet we can't seem to have a shared sense of what this means
today. Community is in large measure engendered by identifi-cation
with persons, structures and interests present in our life
together.
In the past, this identification came "naturally" when most
Bethelites saw themselves reflected in the Scandinavian
BGC-ers around them. Shared ethnicity and religious tradition
provided ready-made bonds in the past, but can they continue
to do so when an ever-increasing number of us are not Swed-ish
Baptists? Do the traditions of Bethel alone engender a sense
of community today? Where can we look to identify with this
Christian learning community?
Somewhat ironically, I suggest this identification process
can be enhanced by the renewed forging of a shared lifestyle
which crystallizes our best understandings of what we indi-vidually
and corporately seek to become. This process must
occur timr and time again, and I think it's now a time to begin
in earnest. Our sources for this process include our diverse
Biblical perspectives and insights, the variety of socio-cultural
traditions represented at Bethel, and the entire range of our
views on the social, economic and political issues of our day.
The statement of our lifestyle should express expectations
consistent with the development of mature, responsible Chris-tians:
it applies to the relationships, practices and structures
we participate in and shape, those of a Christian liberal arts
college. It is an ideal we seek to incorporate in all dimensions
of our life together, from the classroom to the playing field,
from the dorm to the dining hall, from our corporate and
financial structures to the ways we present ourselves to our
publics. I propose the following lifestyle statement as such an
ideal, intended to spark interaction and to fuel the process of
forging our identity anew.
Bethel is a Christian liberal arts learning community.
Because we are a Christian community, we commit our-selves
to proclaiming the redemptive grace of God in all the
contexts of our lives. We seek to effect reconciliation in our
world wherever there is alienation and hatred. We commit

Bethel's "alternative eating
experience," the Royal Oak
Room, opens its doors every
Thursday evening to serve
the Bethel community.
The Royal Oak Room is a
student-run, on-campus res-taurant
that is almost identi-cal
to any other restaurant.
Reservations are taken from
customers who are then seated
by a host, given menus, and
served by waiters and wait-resses.
The Royal Oak Room pro-vides
an alternative to cafe-teria
and coffee shop meals.
"It is just a different atmos-phere
for people to eat in,"
said this year's manager Kim
Schmidt. Students do not have
to go off campus to enjoy din-ing
that makes it seem as
though they are away from
school.
The Royal Oak Room is
open every Thursday from
4:30 to about 7 p.m. in the cof-fee
shop.
Menu selections range from
steak and fish to soup and
salad to club sandwiches and
burgers. Customers can also
enjoy appetizers and desserts.
Each week there is a musical
feature to entertain diners.
There are some new items
on the revised menu this year,
including shrimp and two new
combination dinners (steak
and shrimp and chicken and
shrimp).
The Royal Oak Room had
its beginning about eight years
ago, according to Schmidt. The
original location was the sec-tion
of the cafeteria now
labelled "Royal Oak Room."
At first its popularity was
minimal, and the staff found
that most of the students went
out or went home on Friday
nights. So the staff changed it
to Thursday nights, and with-in
a year the shift to the coffee
shop was made, because bus-iness
grew fast.
Under Schmidt's manage-ment,
there have been some
changes in the Royal Oak
Room this year. All of this
year's waiters and waitresses
are new, except for one woman
who worked in the kitchen
last year. The new people were
hired through an application
process (Schmidt received 100
applications and had to choose
a staff of 24). Schmidt said
she used this process because
she did not want to have the
staff seem "permanent" year
after year.
"It is a fun place to work,"
commented Schmidt, "and
everybody should have the
opportunity to work there."
"We're trying some new
things with the salad bar, try-ing
to have a different type of
salad each week," said
Schmidt. Fruit and three-bean
salads are two of the latest
selections. Schmidt would al-so
like to try a "theme des-sert"
each month. Ideas in-clude
apple pie this month
and pumpkin pie in November.
One other addition this year
is a price increase. "Every-thing
has gone up," said
Schmidt, "but only by a nickel
or so." A few items have even
gone down in price, support-ing
Schmidt's claim that
everything is "reasonably
priced."

Evans attracted by `spiritual dimension'
by Dave Pikal
Just talking to Dr. Don
Evans gives you the feeling
that the basketball season is
already coming down to the
wire. No, he is not a famous
basketball player. Evans is the
new vice president for busi-ness
affairs. But he is also an
avid sports fan.
Basketball is his favorite
sport. He enjoys watching it
at all levels and he hopes to
play with the Bethel men's
faculty team. But he also en-joys
other athletic events. He
jogs three times a week, enters
races, plays "a pretty good golf
game," and he enjoys watch-ing
hockey and other sports.
As the vice president for
business affairs, Evans is in
charge of five areas of respon-sibility.
He oversees the adminis-trative
services, which in-cludes
postal services, sum-mer
rentals and telephone ser-vices.
Second, he directs fi-nancial
proceedings such as
student banking, student bill-ing,
budget preparation and
accounts payable.
Third, he is responsible for
personnel. This includes wage
administration and hiring.
Fourth, he oversees operations
of the physical plant, includ-ing
security, parking, custo-dial
services and maintenance.
Last is the operation of auxil-iary
enterprises, which in-cludes
the bookstore, food ser-vice,
bus service, insurance
policies and Seminary Village.
Evans brings 17 years of
higher education experience
to this new position, includ-ing
six years at Westmont
College where he served as
vice president for finance and
management.
"The opportunity of working
with President Brushaber was
one principle reason for my
coming to Bethel," said Evans.
Another major influence was
the fact that Bethel has a spe-cial
"spiritual dimension."
"There are not many schools
like Bethel which have a
strong foundation in Christ
as well as academic excel-lence,"
he adds.
Evans has targeted three
areas on which he would like
to concentrate. They are fi-nancial
reporting, budget pro-cessing
and data processing.
This would finalize the tran-sition
from old data process-ing
to new data processing.
Aside from his work and
his interest in athletics,
another hobby of his is a col-lection
of original cartoons, in
an array of both size and
mode of expression. •
"But it is my wife Esther
whose hobby gets most of the
attention," sighs Evans. His
wife makes violins. Evans'
wife and youngest daughter,
Kathy, who is a senior in high
school, have not yet moved
with him to Bethel. They
stayed in Maryland so Kathy
could finish school there. But
Evans is anxious for them to
move, and adds that Kathy
might be a student here next
fall.
"It is not easy being away
from them, but I do like living
at the Seminary Village. You
get a feel for the school by
living on campus," says Evans

Scott Chambers, a new as-sistant
professor of chemis-try
at Bethel, is not only an
expert physical chemist, but
also an ace surfer.
Chambers competed three
years in intercollegiate surf-ing
as an undergraduate at
the University of California—
San Diego. As a member of
the varsity team, he surfed in
duel, major and all-star meets.
A devoted surfer since child-hood,
Chambers said that his
most exciting experience in-volved
surfing in Hawaii.
"The north shore of Oahu,
Hawaii is without a doubt the
best in the world to surf dur-ing
the winter months as far
as the power and size of the
waves."
Chambers later surfed in
Oregon while he earned his
Ph.D. in physical chemistry
at Oregon State University.
He taught physical chemis-try
and physics at George Fox
College, a Christian college in
Oregon, and simultaneously
did research at the depart-ment
of physics at Oregon
Graduate Center.
Funded by the U.S. Depart-ment
of Energy and NASA,
Chambers researched the "sur-face
physics" of a single crys-tal
metal. With the results of
the research, he strove to
produce an energy conversion
system that could be used on
either earth or in space for use
in both power stations and
space vehicles.
This fall Bethel had an open-ing
for a physical chemist.
Chambers took it.
"I think Bethel is one of the
best, if not the best, Christian
colleges in the country. That's
why I came here."
Chambers received a three-year
grant from the Bethel
administration to develop the
physical chemistry depart-ment.
"I really want to build a
good physical chemistry lab
program here at Bethel."
Chambers said he feels
God's calling in teaching is to
prepare people not only to be
the best chemists they can
be, but also the best Chris-tians
they can be.
"The students then can go
to the tops of their professions
and influence their surround-ings
for Christ."
During his college years in
San Diego, Chambers dedicat-ed
his life to Christ through
an outreach program of Cam-pus
Crusade for Christ.
Besides surfing, Chambers
and his wife Judy enjoy back-packing.
They hiked in the Cascade
Mountains at least one week
a year when they lived in
Oregon.
They also cross-country
skiied in the mountain trails a
lot during the winter and hope
to pursue the sport here.
Chambers acknowledges
that the surfing possibilities
now look rather grim; how-ever,
he is willing to "surf"
behind a motorboat on a Min-nesota
lake if the invitation
comes along.

How sweet it is: sugar overdose subtly saturates Bethel diet
by Mike Doran
Sugar. Do we eat too much
of it? Consider this:
A typical student, Kevin
Hugoson, runs up the stairs
with a handful of vanilla cream-filled
cookies. He has just
come from Doc's Corner,
where laid out on a table are
48 dozen cookies of nine dif-ferent
brands. The cookies
will be all eaten by the end of
the day. Rushing between
classes, Kevin grabs a quick
bite to "get through the day."
Other students who take
more time to eat at the cafete-ria
also opt to get through the
day—sweetly. Scott Wiermaa

Keith Green, Christian mu-sic
evangelist, was killed in a
plane crash this,summer. He
was founder,- president and
pastor of Last Days Minis-tries,
Garden Valley, Texas.
Green, 28, was a passenger
in what was an apparently
overloaded twin engine seven-passenger
plane. The exact
cause of the accident is cur-rently
under investigation,
but unequal weight distribu-tion
may also have been a
factor.
Eleven others were fatally
injured in the July 28 acci-dent,
including Green's son
Joshua David, 3, and daugh-ter,
Bethany Grace, 2. Green's
pregnant wife Melody and one
daughter, Rebekah, 1, did not
go on what was planned to be
a short trip around their Gar-den
Valley property.
Born into a musical family,
Green was a rising secular
musician before his conver-sion
in 1974. He wrote songs
for Warner Brothers and CBS
records, and performed in
many California night clubs.
He was reared a Christian
Scientist, and his wife grew
up in a Jewish home. They
attended service at the Vine-yard
Christian Fellowship in
Los Angeles, and were born
again. His wife said, "Because
we had come out of the drug
off a computer list: "For Mon-day,
Sept. 13, for the two
meals of lunch and dinner, we
sold 80 pieces of cake, 30
pieces of gelatin, 80 puddings,
50 sweet rolls, 20 doughnuts,
50 ice cream sandwiches, 100
cookies and brownie bars, and
50 nut breads. Remember, this
-does not include breakfast."
A cafeteria breakfast may in-clude
such sweets as rolls,
doughnuts, sugar coated cere-als,
or pancakes with syrup.
- There is more sweet news
in the coffee shop, a place for
the student who eats more
sporadically. The coffee shop
sells an average of 12 dozen
sweet rolls and 18 gallons of
ice cream per day. Other
sweets sold vary from rice
crispy bars to banana cream
pie. The coffee shop also sells
pop, averaging a staggering
900 gallons per week.
If the student's thirst for
sugar is not quenched in the
coffee shop, there are many
pop machines to do it. The
Coca-Cola Company sells, as
estimated by their spokesman,
over 4800 cans of pop per
week from their new ma-chines.

we began bringing home peo-ple
with similar backgrounds,
opening out house to them."
This open door policy consti-tuted
the beginning of Green's
ministry group, Last Days
Ministries.
Green's immediate success
in the religious music scene
sent his monetary income
spiraling upward in previous-ly
unimaginable amounts.
Green was swept up in finan-cial
gain, and at one point
charged $4,000 per concert.
Then he had a change of heart,
and became a controversial
figure in Christian music cir-cles,
speaking adamantly
against gigantic profits in the
Christian recording industry
and other Christian busines-ses.

sell much more."
Many students opt to use
their change in the candy
machines rather than the pop
machines. An employee of J.
R. Vending, the owner of the
12 candy machines on cam-pus,
said, "I sell about $550 in
candy in the average week,
which would come to over
1800 candy bars."
The candy lover could also
go to the bookstore, where
between $3000 and $5000
worth of candy was sold last
year.

concert ticket sales as "charg-ing
a fee for hearing the Gos-pel."
He believed performing
Christian music was not enter-tainment,
but a form of evan-gelization.
"I regret ever charg-ing
a cent to anyone to hear
the Good News," Green pro-claimed.
He established himself as a
minister of the Gospel, using
music to communicate the
message of Jesus. He asked
only for donations for his con-certs
and albums. Recording

Green's new no-charge pol-icy.
He tapped the resources
of Last Days Ministries and
began his own recording com-pany,

her husband's death will be
used by God to His glory. She
cites John 12:24, "Unless a

ground and dies, it remains
only a single seed. But if it
dies it produces many seeds."
She concludes it is not the

but the message.

further add to sugar consump-tion
with goodies brought in
from or eaten off campus.
Trying to avoid sweets can
become even a bigger prob-lem
with the largely unno-ticed
sugar added to "good"
food. Salad dressing, catsup,
steak sauce, yogurt, bread,
peanut butter and other foods
commonly contain added
sugar.
The type of sugar added to
most foods is sucrose or re--
fined sugar, but others exist
as added or natural ingredi-ents:
glucose, a building block
of sugars found in almost
every food; fructose, found in
honey and fruits; lactose and
galactose, found in milk prod-ucts;
manose, found in wal-nuts,
and maltose, found in
starches such as potatoes.
Flossie Winquist, R.N., the
director of Bethel's health
service, stressed sugar as es-sential
to the body, whether it
is absorbed into the system
through the breakdown of
complex carbohydrates or
directly from the sugars. She
pointed out that Americans
do eat too much sugar.
Doris J. Longacre agrees in
her book "More-with-Less
Cookbook" (available in the
Bethel Bookstore). "North
Americans eat over 120
pounds of sugar and other
refined sweeteners yearly.
This translates to roughly 32
teaspoons daily," she said.
What is the effect of all this
sugar? Like cigarettes, it is
difficult to make cause and
affect studies on sugar, but its
abuse is correlated with high
blood pressure, hyperactivity
and moodiness.
_ Many people are unaware
that excessive use of sugar
can lead to premature arteri-osclerosis
(deposits of plac-ques
inside arteries). Most of
us have known since elemen-tary
school health courses that
too much sugar causes or ag-gravates
tooth decay, obesity,
vitamin deficiency, and dia-betes.
But few people trans-late
this knowledge into menu-planning.
"A health-promoting diet
calls for less meat; less of the
sugar-filled soda pops, candy,
breakfast cereals, and snack
foods; more whole grained
foods, beans, fruits, vegeta-bles,
and nuts," said Longacre.

"It will be a challenge to

Frazier said.
Frazier's first reaction to
Bethel was fear. "I was scared

Netters take two with 'perfect' play events
by John Clark
The Bethel volleyball team
completed a perfect week of
play and managed to gain some
measure of revenge in the
process as the R5yals won
both of their matches during
the week.
On Sept. 29 against St. Olaf,
Bethel got off to a "sluggish"
start, according to coach
Cindy Book, yet defeated the
Oles 16-14, 15-10, 9-15, and
15-4. Pam Madsen was the
Royal leader at the net as
Bethel raised its conference
record to 2-0.
Three days later the Royals
took their show on the road
and took on a strong Dr. Mar-tin
Luther College. Playing
"the best they have all year"
in the words of assistant coach
Denise Nygren, Bethel domi-nated
.DMLC from the outset,
winning 15-0, 15-4 and 15-12.
The three-game sweep was
a sweet triumph for the women
as DMLC had rallied to beat
the Royals the previous week-end
and had knocked Bethel
out of the state tournament
last year.
"They made a lot of mis-takes,"
said Book of DMLC.
"But it was like nothing could
go wrong for us. I was think-ing
'This is incredible,' after
the second game as I was sit-ting
on the bench."
The first game shut-out was
the first one Book could re-member
for her Royal teams
in her three years at Bethel. In
fact, Book felt that the first
game was a "fluke," but the
second game changed her
mind.
by Mike Doran
Because MIAC football pro-grams
are in the process of
changing leagues from the
NAIA to NCAA III, a few
new rules have affected
Bethel's team. One limits the
number of games for players
of both varsity and JV to
eleven per season.
"The JV is not separate from
the varsity." said Dud Lutton,
head football coach. "We have
five JV games for players who

"If they continue to move up,
we could finish pretty high in
the conference," he said.

that he can field a couple of JV

varsity team. Diane Bond

not play on the first string
during varsity games. It gives
them an opportunity to play
and gain game experience so
they are better prepared to
play in a varsity game.
"To have a rule limiting
players to eleven games is
tough. For example, a fresh-man
might start on the kick-off
team for varsity games
and play in all eleven. Then if
he starts as middle linebacker
in the five JV games, the total
number of games he plays is
ning times of 25:40 and 26:07,
respectively.

Professor suffers
daylight office theft
by Tammy Gregersen
Thefts occur every day "out
in the world"—that's nothing
new, but here at Bethel?
Even on campus, a petty
thievery occurs at least once a
week, according to Jim
Woods, director of the physi-cal
plant.
Don Larson, professor in
linguistics and anthropology,
knows this first-hand. On
Sept. 7 in mid-afternoon,
someone walked into his of-fice
and took some property
valued at $230. The thief stole
a dictation machine, a leather
bag, and some untranscribed
tapes. "The tapes were no
good to anyone but me," said
Larson. "A • lot of time and
energy went into those."
"This is not the first time
this has happened," said Lar-son.
"It's no surprise to me.
These things go on several
times a year."
Neither Larson nor Woods
rules out the possibility that
the thief was a Bethel stu-dent.
"What we (the Bethel
community) can't accept is
that it could be someone in
this place," said Larson.
"We can't bring in outside
help either because then we
get in the public eye for the
wrong reason," Larson said,
"We have boasted about be-ing
so pure that they'll just
rub our nose in it."
Woods added, "It (Bethel) is
not a Christian college, it's a
college of Christians—there's
a difference. True, the fre-quency
of these incidents is
less than, say, at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, but they
still do occur."
To minimize the problem,
Woods said, "Total campus
security is up-graded every
year in coverage, staff, and
new and better equipment.
This year we have two men
on night security—one roving
the campus, the other on the
gate—both connected by radio.
We also have a very close and
quick response from Ramsey
County Sheriff. There's one
car patrolling near the cam-pus
whose first priority is
Bethel."
Woods said, "Security is
everybody's business. People
need to lock their doors, take
other ample means to secure
personal property such as
locking things up in desks
and lockers, and restrict their
use of keys. If a theft does
occur, report the incident
promptly, accurately, and
with detail at the physical
plant. The easiest way to
solve the problem is to estab-lish
a pattern for the thefts,"
said Woods.

This year's junior nursing
majors have started a new
phase of their program in
which they attend clinicals in
hospitals. This gives them the
opportunity to face real situa-tions
while retaining a con-trolled
setting.
This is not a brand new
concept to the three-year old
nursing program; it was de-signed
as part of the curricu-lum
from the beginning. Nurs-ing
students have two basic
types of courses to take in
their eleven-course program.
One type concentrates on the
traditional, theoretical facets
of nursing. The other includes
those classes which integrate
the theoretical aspects of nurs-ing
with real situations.
Nursing students begin
their lab component down-stairs
in FA 209. There they
are able to develop the basic
techniques and skills which
can be learned in an artificial
environment. But it is not long
before they get out into a
more practical environment
for developing their skills.
Field experience takes place
mainly in hospitals, but it
also includes schools, commu-nity
agencies, public health
centers and homes. The stu-dents
will work two or three
times a week and will deal
with the clients on a personal
level, learning skills which
the classroom cannot provide.
This includes skills such as
working on a professional
health staff, one-to-one client
care, inter-relational skills,
and practical medical tech-by
Lynnette Monter
With the help of "Jane Fon-da's
Workout Book," Richard
Simmon's television program,
and numerous physically
strenuous activities, aerobics
classes have been sweeping
the nation.
Sept. 27 was the start of a
new season for Bethel aero-bics
enthusiasts, with classes
held Monday through Thurs-day
at 6 p.m. in the wrestling
room.
"It's good to be active and to
be involved in some sort of
exercise," said sophomore
Sharon Gregg, one of the
aerobics leaders.
Aerobics is not just an aver-age
calisthenics class; it is an
exercise program designed for
women. The program is ar-ranged
to give the participants
niques.
The students attending the
various institutions are divid-ed
into small groups and fre-quently
work together as a
group, all under, the supervi-sion
of an instructor.
"Nursing is a professional
health care service designed
to assist the client to maintain
health, restore health, and to
promote a higher level of
health," said Eleanor Edman,
assistant professor and chair-person
of the nursing program.
"And our program, which
integrates theory with actual
practice, along with having
an excellent faculty in the
nursing department helps us
to prepare the best possible
nurses Bethel can provide."
more energy and endurance
along with trimming certain
areas of the body. It also
strengthens the heart and
lungs and tones muscles.
Gregg encourages Bethel
women to become involved in
aerobics for physical activity
that can be fun. The women
do not necessarily have to fol-low
along step by step, Gregg
said.
Routines are recorded on
tape with contemporary vo-calists,
such as Keith Green,
the Archers, Second Chapter
of Acts and the Imperials.
Sophomore Chris Bloom-quist,
an active participant,
said, "It is a well-spent hour
when you can leave your
homework and your books
behind, and have a good feel-ing
about-yourself when you
leave."

Students must push
for spiritual growth
"I know the Christian stance Bethel has as an academic
institution, but what about the student body? What is the
dominant press of the student environment? Will it push my
daughter/son in the direction of Christian growth or will it
push her/him the other way?" This is an example of the
questions on the minds of parents as we come to school each
fall.
Well, how do we answer this parent? Do we push each
other in the direction of spiritual growth or is it the other
way? Some of us would immediately answer "Yes, of course
Bethel pushes a person toward spiritual growth." We are
involved in fellowship groups which strive for good Bible
study, Christian maturation, and evangelism. We are part of
a small group of cohesive believers. We attend chapel regu-larly
and take advantage of any situation from which we
could grow.
Some of us would also answer, "No, Bethel definitely
pushes the other way." We face struggles with our Christian
walk and are even more frustrated at times by those who
seem to have their Christian life in order. We feel a coldness
from some groups because we are "not as spiritual." There-fore,
we are pushed away from Christianity and our per-sonal
Christian walk diminishes. We think that just because
we are at Bethel, a Christian learning community, and
because we are taking Theology I that that is all the effort
our spiritual life needs.
The problem is that no one seems to push us back on
track from this manner of thinking. When we are facing
other problems, we just do not see any evidence of Christian
love.
Before we answer this parent's question, we need to think
about how we are pushing. Are we just part of a small
group of the student body that does push for spiritual
growth? That is good for us personally, but what are we

us who would say that Bethel is pushing the other way need
to take a look at our own personal motivation toward spirit-ual
growth. If we are standing still it is terribly hard for
others to push us. Do we want to be pushed?
As a student body we are pushing: which way?

Dear editor,
Please allow me to explain
the rationale for the BSA
Executive Board's decision
concerning the Beef Board
transformation.
First of all, regarding its
movement to first floor: There
were two primary reasons for
this action. In its previous
location, the Beef Board creat-ed
a major "log-jam" in a high-ly
trafficked hallway. Further-more,
we are attempting to
create here at Bethel a Stu-dent
Union similar to those of
sister institutions. This union
is designed to centralize all
student services and organi-zations.
With this philosophy
in mind, the new location of
Dear Editor:
Thanks for that editorial
(Sept. 24) on awareness of the
spiritual needs of those a-round
us. What you wrote
applies at least as much to
faculty as to students.
In an environment filled,
we suppose, with Christians
it is all too easy either not to
talk about Christ or to talk
about` tomrnitmtni - to • Min
the Beef Board is more logical
and consistent with the con-cept
of a Student Union. To
dispel a common rumor, the
Beef Board was not "moved to
the basement to hide it" in
any way from the general
public.
Some of you have asked,
"Why place glass over the
Beef Board?" There are two
reasons why we felt that this
action was necessary. First,
with the old Beef Board sys-tem
there was a lack of respect
by the students for the com-ments
made by others. This
was exemplified by the grow-ing
problem of inconsiderately
written comments on the com-ments
of others. This disre-simply
in terms of political
and social issues. The issues
may be important; they may
demand our attention as
Christians, and they almost
always stir us more easily
than does a call to evange-lism.
But your editorial con-cerned
our deepest needs, and
it was refreshing and helpful.
Gratefully,
Tom Greenlee

After reading responses to
the latest Bethel Beef Board
scandal by Mr. Anderson and
Ms. Ogden-Malouf, I must
repeat the question they were
asking, "What is Bethel trying
to hide?" Are we so paralyzed
by our own dependence on
outside opinion that we sweep
whatever is "untidy" under
the proverbial rug? It seems
as though we at Bethel are
afraid of our own human
"shadows," again to quote
from last week. We are afraid
to admit that we hurt, fail, get
angry, experience injustice—
that we even question our
faith!
The old Beef Board always
helped us to see how pain-fully
human we actually are.
It was a mirror to reflect our
weaknesses, failures and
doubts—the more unpleasant

spect was so rampant as to
transform the board into noth-ing
more than Bethel's grafitti
board.
Secondly, the previous Beef
Board permitted students to
make comments and.not have
the courage to stand behind
what they said by - signing
their names or PO to their
work. My question is, "What
kind of qualities and charac-teristics
do we want to reward
on this campus?" Do we want
to promote an atmosphere
where disrespect and a lack
of accountability for one's
words and actions is reward-ed?
If we are truly to become
a Christian Learning Commu-nity,
should we not be con-sistent
and reward respect-fulness
and accountability in
all areas of student life? We
feel that the addition of the
glass will promote these
qualities.
To further clarify the Beef
Board policy, let me reiterate
that the policy is exactly the
same as last year. The glass
simply functions to assist us
in maintaining the Beef Board
as a medium of constructive
criticism on our campus.

Bethel's saltiness polluted
Dear editor,
"You are the salt of the
earth; but if salt has lost its
taste, how shall its saltiness
be restored? It is no longer
goad for anything except to
be thrown out and trodden
underfoot by men" (Matt.
5:13).
Before seriously consider-ing
your Sept. 24 editorial on
"evangelism" within the Beth-el
community, we must exam-,
ine the "saltiness" of our true
believers. You said we ought
to hold a ''serious discussion"
with someone to determine
whether their faith is in
Christ or not. Is our Chris-tianity
hidden that much?
Has our salt lost its taste?
While Romans 12:2 explic-itly
indicates "not to be con-formed
to this world," our
full-gospel and evangelical

The career placement office,

can aid students with

The primary purpose of the

of career placement.

The world's pollution has di-luted
the saltiness of our be-lievers.
We have Christian

video games, candy machines,
televisions and the like. If we
cater to our flesh, we will
reap corruption (Gal. 6:7).
Even the neglect of reading
and obeying the Word of God
compromises with the world.
We converse more about our
worldly plans and happen-ings
rather than uplifting
each other through Scripture
and praise in the pursuit of
holiness.
The point is that we gener-ally
have not "come out from
among them" at all, but are
merely imitating them. The
mentality seems to be, "Let's
do everything the world does,
only better. Let's show them
that God and his people don't
take second place to anyone
in anything." Roughly trans-a

In addition to counseling,
the career placement offers a
series of seminars. Three that
seniors attend concern devel-oping
a job campaign, resume
writing, and interview tech-niques.
Redin also tries to
speak to senior classes. How-ever,
Redin said, "The initia-tive

because they are respon-sible
for their lives." "We help
them to find a job instead of
getting them a job."

worldly than the world is.
How can we evangelize to
unbelievers when we indulge
in the world's self-satisfying
passions? "Do you not know
that friendship with the
world is enmity with God?"
(James 4:4) Who will thirst
for bland salt?
We therefore must totally
and radically submit our lives
to God. Then we will hunger
for the Word, obey it and be
"bold as a lion" in our faith
(Prov. 28:1)—the best evan-gelizing
tool ever!
If we completely yield our-selves
to the Lord, then our
faith and joy will overflow in
all our conversations—no
need for a "serious discus-sion"
to test one's faith. "Out
of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaks" (Matt.
12:34). We couldn't conceal
our love for Jesus. Psalms
47:1 exhorts, "Clap your
hands, all peoples! Shout to
God with loud songs of joy!"
The salt in our set-free lives
would overwhelm others!
Let's not endanger our-selves
by searching for "Chris-tian"
worldly amusements
and self-seeking pleasure. For
this lukewarm state God said,
"I will spew you out of my
mouth" (Rev. 3:16).
If we die to our desires and
catch fire for the Lord, he will
uplift us and manifest him-self
through us for his glory.
Others will thirst for our sal-vation.
That's evangelism!

"Hey Emmit, your're late," a voice called out from the branch
above.
"Get with the program simp, can't you see that it's time to
change?" another voice called out from the other side of the
tree. -
"Of course I can see, but I don't wanna Change." Emmit
shivered as a chilly autumn breeze swept through the tree. He
was the only leaf on the whole tree who had not changed his
color.
"You're just embarrassed to change in front of everybody,"
said the leaf hanging next to him. Emmit shook in admittance
to what was said. Deep down, however, he knew that embar-rassment
wasn't the only reason he wouldn't change.
As the days wore on, the leaves which Emmit had grown up
with found their new home on the ground below the tree.
Emmit stayed bright green. The leaves called up from the
ground and told him that he would never be respected unless
he changed. They said that he would never be considered
beautiful. This made Emmit angry. One day the kids that lived
down the street came to the tree and played in the fallen leaves.
Emmit watched as they played tag games and made forts in
the leaves. He also wanted to make the children happy. When
the leaves on the ground saw that Emmit was watching they
began to chant, "Emmit's green with envy, Emmit's green with
envy."
"I am not." Emmit called down from the tree.
"Come on Emmit," came the response from the ground, "step
out in faith, take a chance, risk all."
"No, I'm comfortable. I don't want to." Emmit repressed'his
true feelings. "Just look at you guys," he called out, "you're
turning brown. Whatever happened to all the color and
beauty?" The leaves below didn't respond to Emmit.
The next day the man who lived in the house by the tree
came out and raked all the leaves into a pile. Emmit watched as
the pile grew. After the man finished raking he set the leaves
on fire.
"Burn, scum!!" Emmit yelled. "Just look at the beauty and
respect, it's all burning. You all deserve to burn." Emmit was
filled with glee as the pile slowly turned into ashes. Emmit
was still green.
As the weeks passed Emmit realized that the wind was
picking up and the temperature was dropping. The kids didn't
come to- play anymore. The man hardly ever came out of his
house. There wasn't anyone for Emmit to talk to, the ashes
were blown away by the wind. One day the temperature
dropped to 25 degrees. Emmit froze to death.

Distinguished alumni receive awards =1111Wff= by Steven J. Goodwin
As it is literally impossible for me to dialogue with each of
you on a regular basis, I hope to use this bimonthly column to
keep you informed of the important developments which
directly affect you. With this initial article, however, I would
like to briefly orient you to student government and how it
seeks to serve you.
The Bethel Student Association (BSA) is composed of all
students currently enrolled at Bethel College. This association
is designed to serve the needs of the student community
through student government, student publications, Campus
Coordinators and various special interest groups.
BSA is governed by a- bicameral student government. The
two branches of our student government are the Executive
Board and the Student Senate. The student government func-tions
as the official voice of the student body to all faculty,
staff and administrative personnel and to all off-campus
groups. It initiates legislation for change in both our Bethel
community and our world community, allocates funds to on-campus
organizations and seeks to provide a variety of ser-vices
to students.
What has student government (Executive Board and Stu-dent
Senate) done for you this year? We have represented
student concerns to the June and September meetings of the
Board of Regents, helped with final planning and implementa-tion
of our new Student Union including the new BSA lounge
near the elevators, and the newly reorganized Senate-run
Book Exchange, just to mention a few of our programs to date.
What is student government doing now? Along with a
myriad of long-range programs, we are presently involved in
reviewing the Beef Board transformation and, in initating a
constitution revision process designed to bring greater coordi-nation
and cohesiveness to student organizations at Bethel. In
addition, we are currently studying how we can effectively
lobby for the growing number of student-related legislative
proposals at both the state and federal levels and are attempt-ing
to determine which organization(s) could best represent
the views of Bethel students.
We were elected to serve you! Please help us by stopping
into our office (LR112) or by coming to the Student Senate
meetings (Mondays at 5:15 in FA 426) to inform us of your
opinions and_concerns.

Donated electron microscope magnifies 30,000 times
by Mike Doran
Hidden- in AC 137 is a sci-entific
device valued between
$50,000 and $100,000. It is an
electron microscope and can
magnify objects 30,000 times,
the equivalent of magnifying
a paper clip to the size of eight
and one-third football fields.
The original owner of the
scope, the University of Min-nesota
Veterinary School, de-cided
to donate the scope after
receiving a new one. They
picked up a phone book and

Augsburg said they already
had one. Then they called up
the next listing, Bethel.
Explained simply, the mic-roscope
works by directing a
beam of electrons through a
series of magnetic fields—not
glass.
The beam goes through a
selectively pre-dyed specimen
or object and the dye blocks
some of the beam's electrons.
The beam is then magnified
by more magnetic fields. An

"Oh, no, not another lecture on community!" No, not a lec-ture;
just the reflections of a Bethel-watcher gazing into our
corporate mirror. We call ourselves a "Christian learning
community" (if we are to believe our own publicity), and we
rightly sense that this should be more than a catalog aphorism.
Yet we can't seem to have a shared sense of what this means
today. Community is in large measure engendered by identifi-cation
with persons, structures and interests present in our life
together.
In the past, this identification came "naturally" when most
Bethelites saw themselves reflected in the Scandinavian
BGC-ers around them. Shared ethnicity and religious tradition
provided ready-made bonds in the past, but can they continue
to do so when an ever-increasing number of us are not Swed-ish
Baptists? Do the traditions of Bethel alone engender a sense
of community today? Where can we look to identify with this
Christian learning community?
Somewhat ironically, I suggest this identification process
can be enhanced by the renewed forging of a shared lifestyle
which crystallizes our best understandings of what we indi-vidually
and corporately seek to become. This process must
occur timr and time again, and I think it's now a time to begin
in earnest. Our sources for this process include our diverse
Biblical perspectives and insights, the variety of socio-cultural
traditions represented at Bethel, and the entire range of our
views on the social, economic and political issues of our day.
The statement of our lifestyle should express expectations
consistent with the development of mature, responsible Chris-tians:
it applies to the relationships, practices and structures
we participate in and shape, those of a Christian liberal arts
college. It is an ideal we seek to incorporate in all dimensions
of our life together, from the classroom to the playing field,
from the dorm to the dining hall, from our corporate and
financial structures to the ways we present ourselves to our
publics. I propose the following lifestyle statement as such an
ideal, intended to spark interaction and to fuel the process of
forging our identity anew.
Bethel is a Christian liberal arts learning community.
Because we are a Christian community, we commit our-selves
to proclaiming the redemptive grace of God in all the
contexts of our lives. We seek to effect reconciliation in our
world wherever there is alienation and hatred. We commit

Bethel's "alternative eating
experience," the Royal Oak
Room, opens its doors every
Thursday evening to serve
the Bethel community.
The Royal Oak Room is a
student-run, on-campus res-taurant
that is almost identi-cal
to any other restaurant.
Reservations are taken from
customers who are then seated
by a host, given menus, and
served by waiters and wait-resses.
The Royal Oak Room pro-vides
an alternative to cafe-teria
and coffee shop meals.
"It is just a different atmos-phere
for people to eat in,"
said this year's manager Kim
Schmidt. Students do not have
to go off campus to enjoy din-ing
that makes it seem as
though they are away from
school.
The Royal Oak Room is
open every Thursday from
4:30 to about 7 p.m. in the cof-fee
shop.
Menu selections range from
steak and fish to soup and
salad to club sandwiches and
burgers. Customers can also
enjoy appetizers and desserts.
Each week there is a musical
feature to entertain diners.
There are some new items
on the revised menu this year,
including shrimp and two new
combination dinners (steak
and shrimp and chicken and
shrimp).
The Royal Oak Room had
its beginning about eight years
ago, according to Schmidt. The
original location was the sec-tion
of the cafeteria now
labelled "Royal Oak Room."
At first its popularity was
minimal, and the staff found
that most of the students went
out or went home on Friday
nights. So the staff changed it
to Thursday nights, and with-in
a year the shift to the coffee
shop was made, because bus-iness
grew fast.
Under Schmidt's manage-ment,
there have been some
changes in the Royal Oak
Room this year. All of this
year's waiters and waitresses
are new, except for one woman
who worked in the kitchen
last year. The new people were
hired through an application
process (Schmidt received 100
applications and had to choose
a staff of 24). Schmidt said
she used this process because
she did not want to have the
staff seem "permanent" year
after year.
"It is a fun place to work,"
commented Schmidt, "and
everybody should have the
opportunity to work there."
"We're trying some new
things with the salad bar, try-ing
to have a different type of
salad each week," said
Schmidt. Fruit and three-bean
salads are two of the latest
selections. Schmidt would al-so
like to try a "theme des-sert"
each month. Ideas in-clude
apple pie this month
and pumpkin pie in November.
One other addition this year
is a price increase. "Every-thing
has gone up," said
Schmidt, "but only by a nickel
or so." A few items have even
gone down in price, support-ing
Schmidt's claim that
everything is "reasonably
priced."

Evans attracted by `spiritual dimension'
by Dave Pikal
Just talking to Dr. Don
Evans gives you the feeling
that the basketball season is
already coming down to the
wire. No, he is not a famous
basketball player. Evans is the
new vice president for busi-ness
affairs. But he is also an
avid sports fan.
Basketball is his favorite
sport. He enjoys watching it
at all levels and he hopes to
play with the Bethel men's
faculty team. But he also en-joys
other athletic events. He
jogs three times a week, enters
races, plays "a pretty good golf
game," and he enjoys watch-ing
hockey and other sports.
As the vice president for
business affairs, Evans is in
charge of five areas of respon-sibility.
He oversees the adminis-trative
services, which in-cludes
postal services, sum-mer
rentals and telephone ser-vices.
Second, he directs fi-nancial
proceedings such as
student banking, student bill-ing,
budget preparation and
accounts payable.
Third, he is responsible for
personnel. This includes wage
administration and hiring.
Fourth, he oversees operations
of the physical plant, includ-ing
security, parking, custo-dial
services and maintenance.
Last is the operation of auxil-iary
enterprises, which in-cludes
the bookstore, food ser-vice,
bus service, insurance
policies and Seminary Village.
Evans brings 17 years of
higher education experience
to this new position, includ-ing
six years at Westmont
College where he served as
vice president for finance and
management.
"The opportunity of working
with President Brushaber was
one principle reason for my
coming to Bethel," said Evans.
Another major influence was
the fact that Bethel has a spe-cial
"spiritual dimension."
"There are not many schools
like Bethel which have a
strong foundation in Christ
as well as academic excel-lence,"
he adds.
Evans has targeted three
areas on which he would like
to concentrate. They are fi-nancial
reporting, budget pro-cessing
and data processing.
This would finalize the tran-sition
from old data process-ing
to new data processing.
Aside from his work and
his interest in athletics,
another hobby of his is a col-lection
of original cartoons, in
an array of both size and
mode of expression. •
"But it is my wife Esther
whose hobby gets most of the
attention," sighs Evans. His
wife makes violins. Evans'
wife and youngest daughter,
Kathy, who is a senior in high
school, have not yet moved
with him to Bethel. They
stayed in Maryland so Kathy
could finish school there. But
Evans is anxious for them to
move, and adds that Kathy
might be a student here next
fall.
"It is not easy being away
from them, but I do like living
at the Seminary Village. You
get a feel for the school by
living on campus," says Evans

Scott Chambers, a new as-sistant
professor of chemis-try
at Bethel, is not only an
expert physical chemist, but
also an ace surfer.
Chambers competed three
years in intercollegiate surf-ing
as an undergraduate at
the University of California—
San Diego. As a member of
the varsity team, he surfed in
duel, major and all-star meets.
A devoted surfer since child-hood,
Chambers said that his
most exciting experience in-volved
surfing in Hawaii.
"The north shore of Oahu,
Hawaii is without a doubt the
best in the world to surf dur-ing
the winter months as far
as the power and size of the
waves."
Chambers later surfed in
Oregon while he earned his
Ph.D. in physical chemistry
at Oregon State University.
He taught physical chemis-try
and physics at George Fox
College, a Christian college in
Oregon, and simultaneously
did research at the depart-ment
of physics at Oregon
Graduate Center.
Funded by the U.S. Depart-ment
of Energy and NASA,
Chambers researched the "sur-face
physics" of a single crys-tal
metal. With the results of
the research, he strove to
produce an energy conversion
system that could be used on
either earth or in space for use
in both power stations and
space vehicles.
This fall Bethel had an open-ing
for a physical chemist.
Chambers took it.
"I think Bethel is one of the
best, if not the best, Christian
colleges in the country. That's
why I came here."
Chambers received a three-year
grant from the Bethel
administration to develop the
physical chemistry depart-ment.
"I really want to build a
good physical chemistry lab
program here at Bethel."
Chambers said he feels
God's calling in teaching is to
prepare people not only to be
the best chemists they can
be, but also the best Chris-tians
they can be.
"The students then can go
to the tops of their professions
and influence their surround-ings
for Christ."
During his college years in
San Diego, Chambers dedicat-ed
his life to Christ through
an outreach program of Cam-pus
Crusade for Christ.
Besides surfing, Chambers
and his wife Judy enjoy back-packing.
They hiked in the Cascade
Mountains at least one week
a year when they lived in
Oregon.
They also cross-country
skiied in the mountain trails a
lot during the winter and hope
to pursue the sport here.
Chambers acknowledges
that the surfing possibilities
now look rather grim; how-ever,
he is willing to "surf"
behind a motorboat on a Min-nesota
lake if the invitation
comes along.

How sweet it is: sugar overdose subtly saturates Bethel diet
by Mike Doran
Sugar. Do we eat too much
of it? Consider this:
A typical student, Kevin
Hugoson, runs up the stairs
with a handful of vanilla cream-filled
cookies. He has just
come from Doc's Corner,
where laid out on a table are
48 dozen cookies of nine dif-ferent
brands. The cookies
will be all eaten by the end of
the day. Rushing between
classes, Kevin grabs a quick
bite to "get through the day."
Other students who take
more time to eat at the cafete-ria
also opt to get through the
day—sweetly. Scott Wiermaa

by Deborah Nelson
Keith Green, Christian mu-sic
evangelist, was killed in a
plane crash this,summer. He
was founder,- president and
pastor of Last Days Minis-tries,
Garden Valley, Texas.
Green, 28, was a passenger
in what was an apparently
overloaded twin engine seven-passenger
plane. The exact
cause of the accident is cur-rently
under investigation,
but unequal weight distribu-tion
may also have been a
factor.
Eleven others were fatally
injured in the July 28 acci-dent,
including Green's son
Joshua David, 3, and daugh-ter,
Bethany Grace, 2. Green's
pregnant wife Melody and one
daughter, Rebekah, 1, did not
go on what was planned to be
a short trip around their Gar-den
Valley property.
Born into a musical family,
Green was a rising secular
musician before his conver-sion
in 1974. He wrote songs
for Warner Brothers and CBS
records, and performed in
many California night clubs.
He was reared a Christian
Scientist, and his wife grew
up in a Jewish home. They
attended service at the Vine-yard
Christian Fellowship in
Los Angeles, and were born
again. His wife said, "Because
we had come out of the drug
off a computer list: "For Mon-day,
Sept. 13, for the two
meals of lunch and dinner, we
sold 80 pieces of cake, 30
pieces of gelatin, 80 puddings,
50 sweet rolls, 20 doughnuts,
50 ice cream sandwiches, 100
cookies and brownie bars, and
50 nut breads. Remember, this
-does not include breakfast."
A cafeteria breakfast may in-clude
such sweets as rolls,
doughnuts, sugar coated cere-als,
or pancakes with syrup.
- There is more sweet news
in the coffee shop, a place for
the student who eats more
sporadically. The coffee shop
sells an average of 12 dozen
sweet rolls and 18 gallons of
ice cream per day. Other
sweets sold vary from rice
crispy bars to banana cream
pie. The coffee shop also sells
pop, averaging a staggering
900 gallons per week.
If the student's thirst for
sugar is not quenched in the
coffee shop, there are many
pop machines to do it. The
Coca-Cola Company sells, as
estimated by their spokesman,
over 4800 cans of pop per
week from their new ma-chines.

we began bringing home peo-ple
with similar backgrounds,
opening out house to them."
This open door policy consti-tuted
the beginning of Green's
ministry group, Last Days
Ministries.
Green's immediate success
in the religious music scene
sent his monetary income
spiraling upward in previous-ly
unimaginable amounts.
Green was swept up in finan-cial
gain, and at one point
charged $4,000 per concert.
Then he had a change of heart,
and became a controversial
figure in Christian music cir-cles,
speaking adamantly
against gigantic profits in the
Christian recording industry
and other Christian busines-ses.
In 1978, Green addressed

rough approximation," said
the spokesman. "We hope to
sell much more."
Many students opt to use
their change in the candy
machines rather than the pop
machines. An employee of J.
R. Vending, the owner of the
12 candy machines on cam-pus,
said, "I sell about $550 in
candy in the average week,
which would come to over
1800 candy bars."
The candy lover could also
go to the bookstore, where
between $3000 and $5000
worth of candy was sold last
year.

concert ticket sales as "charg-ing
a fee for hearing the Gos-pel."
He believed performing
Christian music was not enter-tainment,
but a form of evan-gelization.
"I regret ever charg-ing
a cent to anyone to hear
the Good News," Green pro-claimed.
He established himself as a
minister of the Gospel, using
music to communicate the
message of Jesus. He asked
only for donations for his con-certs
and albums. Recording
companies refused to adopt
Green's new no-charge pol-icy.
He tapped the resources
of Last Days Ministries and
began his own recording com-pany,
Pretty Good Records.
The ministry publishes a
cost-free newsletter which
continues to be mailed to
250,000 subscribers.
Last Days persists in the

Melody Green believes that
her husband's death will be
used by God to His glory. She
cites John 12:24, "Unless a
kernel of wheat falls to the
ground and dies, it remains
only a single seed. But if it
dies it produces many seeds."
She concludes it is not the
messenger that is important,
but the message.

other munchies to keep in-structors
happy in the faculty
lounge. Students and faculty
further add to sugar consump-tion
with goodies brought in
from or eaten off campus.
Trying to avoid sweets can
become even a bigger prob-lem
with the largely unno-ticed
sugar added to "good"
food. Salad dressing, catsup,
steak sauce, yogurt, bread,
peanut butter and other foods
commonly contain added
sugar.
The type of sugar added to
most foods is sucrose or re--
fined sugar, but others exist
as added or natural ingredi-ents:
glucose, a building block
of sugars found in almost
every food; fructose, found in
honey and fruits; lactose and
galactose, found in milk prod-ucts;
manose, found in wal-nuts,
and maltose, found in
starches such as potatoes.
Flossie Winquist, R.N., the
director of Bethel's health
service, stressed sugar as es-sential
to the body, whether it
is absorbed into the system
through the breakdown of
complex carbohydrates or
directly from the sugars. She
pointed out that Americans
do eat too much sugar.
Doris J. Longacre agrees in
her book "More-with-Less
Cookbook" (available in the
Bethel Bookstore). "North
Americans eat over 120
pounds of sugar and other
refined sweeteners yearly.
This translates to roughly 32
teaspoons daily," she said.
What is the effect of all this
sugar? Like cigarettes, it is
difficult to make cause and
affect studies on sugar, but its
abuse is correlated with high
blood pressure, hyperactivity
and moodiness.
_ Many people are unaware
that excessive use of sugar
can lead to premature arteri-osclerosis
(deposits of plac-ques
inside arteries). Most of
us have known since elemen-tary
school health courses that
too much sugar causes or ag-gravates
tooth decay, obesity,
vitamin deficiency, and dia-betes.
But few people trans-late
this knowledge into menu-planning.
"A health-promoting diet
calls for less meat; less of the
sugar-filled soda pops, candy,
breakfast cereals, and snack
foods; more whole grained
foods, beans, fruits, vegeta-bles,
and nuts," said Longacre.

Netters take two with 'perfect' play events
by John Clark
The Bethel volleyball team
completed a perfect week of
play and managed to gain some
measure of revenge in the
process as the R5yals won
both of their matches during
the week.
On Sept. 29 against St. Olaf,
Bethel got off to a "sluggish"
start, according to coach
Cindy Book, yet defeated the
Oles 16-14, 15-10, 9-15, and
15-4. Pam Madsen was the
Royal leader at the net as
Bethel raised its conference
record to 2-0.
Three days later the Royals
took their show on the road
and took on a strong Dr. Mar-tin
Luther College. Playing
"the best they have all year"
in the words of assistant coach
Denise Nygren, Bethel domi-nated
.DMLC from the outset,
winning 15-0, 15-4 and 15-12.
The three-game sweep was
a sweet triumph for the women
as DMLC had rallied to beat
the Royals the previous week-end
and had knocked Bethel
out of the state tournament
last year.
"They made a lot of mis-takes,"
said Book of DMLC.
"But it was like nothing could
go wrong for us. I was think-ing
'This is incredible,' after
the second game as I was sit-ting
on the bench."
The first game shut-out was
the first one Book could re-member
for her Royal teams
in her three years at Bethel. In
fact, Book felt that the first
game was a "fluke," but the
second game changed her
mind.

Because MIAC football pro-grams
are in the process of
changing leagues from the
NAIA to NCAA III, a few
new rules have affected
Bethel's team. One limits the
number of games for players
of both varsity and JV to
eleven per season.
"The JV is not separate from
the varsity." said Dud Lutton,
head football coach. "We have
five JV games for players who

they have shown this season.
"If they continue to move up,
we could finish pretty high in

"To have a rule limiting

Despite the victories, Coach
Leigh remained realistic about
the season. "We still have
tough games coming up with
Gustavus and St. Thomas,"
he commented.
The prospect of facing some
of the tougher teams in the
conference does not lessen the
team's confidence, however.
As Leigh put it, "These big
wins give us a big psycholog-ical
advantage."

Royals trying to break into
the win column in the Oct. 9
homecoming game with Mac-alester.
"I think our team's attitude
is fine," commented Lutton.
"They're not feeling sorry for
themselves and I'm sure they
feel confident that God
doesn't allow us to go through
things without learning from
them."
